Haweswater (2010)
“The road he took into the valley was slow and winding and littered with ragged-looking sheep, but he drove it almost daily, arriving in the afternoon, and leaving in darkness. He did not take the main road to Shap and then down past Swindale and Rosgill to the valley, but instead came by a more direct route through the villages of Askham, Helton and Bampton. It was more scenic, more direct as the crow flew.
On this route he encountered several gates along the way, which were chained to post...s to keep livestock separate from each other and out of the neighbouring fields. He made sure to close the gates behind him, recoiling, though, from the greasy metal of the lock and the odious sheep wool snagged into its links. The bestial smears and smudges on the lattices. There were also several bent metal cattle grids on this road, which saved the effort of having to get in and out of the car to tackle gates, but were hell on the suspension and tyres of the car. There was no easy method of navigating them.MoreLess
